7th Joint Economic Briefing

Joint European macro-economic Briefing 28 July, 2022 from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm

Various disruptions have marred the past year causing uncertainty within the global market. While the international arena has been difficult to operate in for foreign businesses, the Philippine business environment has improved significantly with the amendments to the Retail Trade Liberalisation Act, the Public Service Act, and the Foreign Investments Act. With this in mind, the Philippines has much to look forward to with foreign investment flows in the future.

Given these considerations, the Joint Economic Briefing provides a platform to analyze these issues with field experts and keep updated with the latest news on the Philippine Macroeconomic Outlook. This will also be the first moment that participating Chambers reach out to the new administration, including the Department of Trade & Industry and the Department of Finance, about their economic plans and ambitions for the next years to come.

Join us in for the 7th Joint Economic Briefing as we explore the current state of the Philippine economy, and the legislative development for foreign businesses in the country through discussions with the country’s foremost economic experts.

This event is brought to you by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, in partnership with the British, European, French, German, Nordic and Spanish Chambers.
